Can YOU make money as a trader?

Hi mate,

First of all thank you for sharing your point of view.
When I shared my humble opinion here I was sure that a lot of scepsis would be coming my way, but I also thought there might be a chance for somebody to read between the lines and maybe adapt that way of thinking, or do some research based on what I shared.

One thing you stated was very true - You are not me ( not saying Im anyone special, don't get it twisted )
Experiences in my life have confirmed my statements and I consider myself "lucky" enough that I can proudly say I have achieved every goal I have set in my mind.

The reason I sold has nothing to do with what I have told you, and I believe you don't have enough information about me or my business to make judgements.
The truth is there is no such thing as luck in the world we live in....

I did not expect you or any other member to take this subject into consideration, or digging deeper into what I have said because maybe 1% of the worlds population apply it.

A member has posted a great idea which I will try to fulfill as much as possible and that is showing your actual trades ( no intention to show off or like he said make a penis contest out of it ) and let the actual numbers speak for themselves.

If someone did get curious on what I said congratulations ! You will be going on a great journey and at the end you will be given a " Masterkey " for life, which you can apply on EVERY aspect of your life.

Please don't take all of this as a message that I am the next Ray Dalio.. I just thought this information could be useful to a lot of people who would like to accept them.

You see? I told you once the "infectious" parts arrive from the "suicide and forex" squad, life will never be the same even on antibiotics. They are like parasitic Super Bugs trying to take hold in the deepest recesses of your neuropsychological and neurophysiological matrix. Once they arrive, even a complete system flush and lumbo sacchral puncture can't hold them back. They come in the form of Alphadude, Artcool, reverseflash, and goose4. These guys operate in a celestial space unknown to most others. I posted screenshots of trades like I did here on their hangout thread. Each and every trade was met with a different set of statistics on the impossibility that even 1 trader in the universe can be profitable, and anyone claiming success is lying! I was told I'm a shill?? operating on demo, even though I showed my real trading platform??, been told I'm a salesman, although I have nothing to sell?? and that every trade I post is doctored and untrue.

Now the best is I'm also UNLV! If you go to the U/J thread you will see our conversation from last week! I have nothing better to do than share my trading knowledge with myself! Are you for real? My question to these people is why are you here? Why do you continue to follow me from thread to thread? Why do you seek me out and follow my posts. If I'm so full of sh*t, why do you comment and hit the like button on any postings? Alpha, if you read unlv's post, it clearly says he took some time off and recently returned to FF.... and was impressed.... It didn't say he returned for "me"! If you want to call bullsh*t on something, at least have the courtesy to get it straight. Your own trading inefficiencies shouldn't have to spoil it for others that want to learn. If you don't believe my posts are real,great! If you believe no one can profit in forex, great! I'm truly sorry that you guys haven't found your place in the trading sphere, but it's not my fault, and I don't wish to be your poster child for anything and everything that went wrong in your trading careers. For the people mentioned above "Please refrain from commenting on any future postings I make on this or any other thread. I don't even want you to like or dislike any post."
I want no part of your mindset and no association with any of you whatsoever. I participate on FF for my own entertainment and pleasure. I hope this is clear enough for you!!

Well, at least you guys aren't talking about making donations. I'll post a few trades tomorrow if anything unfolds. I'll start with my list of pairs to watch (that is my list, not necessarily yours), and go from there. If you've read my journal, you know that the morning list consists of the pairs where TA is statistically likely to match the market structure of said pair. Good trading, have fun fighting,, and we'll do it again in the morning.

I'm not going to blow sunshine up anyone's ass, and I don't even know if I will return to this thread, oh I probably will for fun, but my concern with my time is working or learning, not arguing. But I feel I have a wealth of personal growth knowledge to share.

Look at when I joined this forum. Oct 2007. I have been working on this for over 10 years. All be it I work a full time job and a weekend job on top of it, so trading time gets cut into a lot, but it is something I refuse to quit working at. For many reasons. If you have been at this 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, I hate to say it, it is going to take longer. There is no one stop magic formula. It is a lot of things combined, and frustrating, yet magically enough, it is unique for every person.

I was in a group where a few other guys took off and started trading. But the way they traded didn't fit my personality and I couldn't repeat their success, even while learning side by side with them. But I know enough to know Nealpek is sharing some excellent wisdom. Copy and paste and save what he has to say, it is invaluable.

My advice is this. Learning to trade will be one of the hardest things you can do. But whether you are successful at it or not, as long as you don't quit, you will learn so much about yourself, about life, about fighting and not quitting, about how far you can push yourself, that it will all be a great lesson learned. I think most anyone with an average IQ, a strong enough desire, an open mind, and an internet connection can trade and make money consistently. I didn't say become a billionaire, but make at least a decent enough income with it to make it worth your time.

Another one bites the dust.

My list for today contains...nothing. Will evaluate in an hour or so. No new trades. My EC trade is still on, but the others from yesterday hit their stops with +10 pips. Big FA coming up in about 2.5 hours.

I only caught about 30 pips on the rotation on u/j yesterday. Waiting for the "big" news to determine next trade.

good luck with it bud.

i have my eye on Dax as it looks like it will blow..
i then have to decide whether to trade it as a fun bet.


edit, it did

Do you use only USD/JPY? Or you have a long list for trading?

Sorry, it got really busy, really fast. I just closed my G$ and E$ trades, up 55 pips each. I couldn't call them out due to the nature of the fast PA, and hope you all got in on this, but I can post charts if anyone is interested, but I know that most of you are trading this now, or are posting on the suicide thread. Whatever...
